Charles has the unique ability to polish everything he plays.

It’s not that you are able to play these, it’s how you play them. So clean, no fret noises, perfect timing, clear and punchy sound and you can hear every single note. Amazing.

Wojtek Pilichowski is one of the best bass players in the world. I love his style and musicality. Thanks for showing off his performance. Greetings from Poland.

I come from Poland, and Wojtek is one of the reasons why I'm proud of it 🤗🇵🇱

Charles, you are an inspiration. I have been playing bass 40 years. You took the several of toughest and most iconic bass solos, from some of the best bassists in the world, and played improved and better sounding versions of them all, in a beautifully understated way, as if it was nothing. Well played sir.

[StudioPiosenkiMartinello]

Your version of Wojtek Pilichowski solo is Sound and precision of playing is perfect!

[Ludiscere]

honestly, you are by a distance one of the best bass players i have ever ever ever seen. absolutely bewildered by every single video you put out. legitimately generational talent mate, keep it up!

[MMiler]

I think you may just be the most technically proficient bassist living right now, Charles. Can literally cop _anything_ out there, and still outplay it. Your hard work, and natural proclivities have served you well, young master.

To dig out Pilichowskis solo might be one miracle but to cover this in such a proficient way is another one. You are nothing short of amazing mate. Best regards from Poland!
Been following you for some time now and as a fellow amateur guitarist I am just stunned by your progress. God level.

[zyndeco]

Wow. This guy plays the cleanest, most consistent, perfectly muted and timed (open to close) bass notes I've EVER heard, on all playing styles, at ANY speed, which is INSANE!! Bravo Sir, Bravo.

When Charles says "Let's see if I can pull this off" he's really saying: "Watch me effortlessly play this solo and put my own spin on it"

As a total novice in the arena of slap bass....YOU, my friend, ... are Stellar! Not only to imitate but to originate!! There is something earthy and organic about the bass guitar....and I admire anyone who has the control of the language of are Special!! Love your

[quinnclancy]

When charles makes a video called "can i play..." All he really means is "I got really bored so i learned these songs enjoy"

[ezeee]

Things don't just happen by accident. What we see on display here is, years of practice, dedication to your chosen art form and never giving up - plus raw natural talent.

[AL-V]

Charles is undoubtedly one of the best bass players in the world. Just love this guy.

[saesang]

The Wojtek one is the craziest solo I’ve ever seen. There are very few YouTube videos of people trying to replicate it

[williamsaltsman]

OF COURSE YOU CAN!!! You're the best of the best!.... Hands down!!!

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

Dude, you're probably one of the best bassplayers of this era. Absolutely love how you actually manage to play everything you come across. No matter the effort, you're just doing it anyway. Truly amazing, can't help but admiring your amazing talent. Keep the good work up!

[meditatingdog]

Wojtek's solo was a be(a)st one, not just the technique but the feel and energy, omg, incredible. Victor W., Marcus M. created amazing hard solos and others too, but his was just another level.

[artturipetaja]

I'm a guitarist but I never get tired of watching and listening to your funky base awesomeness! I'll be back for more, and more...
